Cell Shape and Surface Colonisation in the Diatom Genus <i>Cocconeis</i>—An Opportunity to Explore Bio-Inspired Shape Packing?
Optimal packing of 2 and 3-D shapes in confined spaces has long been of practical and theoretical interest, particularly as it has been discovered that rotatable ellipses (or ellipsoids in the 3-D case) can, for example, have higher packing densities than disks (or spheres in the 3-D case). Benthic...
